The federal govt. mandated this public TV, rightfully years ago. This issue is being 'sand-bagged' by the LA govt officials who are trying to STOP citizen TV. I have been connected to public access since 80's when things cost producer's real money to producer a show. When things got better in the last decade, the quality of these shows got better with the digital medium and compouter editting.<BR/>This issue should be wider publicized because it is just another restriction of community free speech, much like the new gestapo govt push to have the old ridiculously named 'fairness doctrine' re-insitutued on public radio. Let the people be heard and let public comment on these issues happen at the city's committe hearings.<BR/><BR/>**Why isn't there any special TV notices on Channel 36 about these city's and state's citizen TV channel closure, the city's cable TV channel or elsewhere in public newspapers and blogs?<BR/>Try googling it and you get very little notice. This looks like a power play by the govt to remove citizen TV shows from the public airwaves. Activism is the only way to fight this draconian gestapo tactics. From 14 channels down to ONE in the second largest city in the USA?<BR/>Get innformed and get active.they take this away..they will take more!<BR/><BR/>City email: Ken Sinclair<BR/>ITA - Video Services Regulatory Division<BR/>Consumer Services Section<BR/>Phone: 213-922-8350<BR/>ita.consumerservices@lacity.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039563145970308239.post-12357997702953570432008-07-22T16:13:00.000-07:002008-07-22T16:13:00.000-07:00Public access television has always provided a goo...Public access television has always provided a good source of local information which would not ordinarily be available on such a wide-scale basis.
